The Punisher Loneliness

The apocalypse is here, and it’s so overdone. Monsters? Check. Burning sky? Check. Random system that gives you powers but also wants your firstborn? Double check. In the middle of this mess are two guys who couldn’t be more mismatched if they tried: The Fool: A guy who’s spent his life perfecting the art of doing nothing. His resume includes “professional procrastinator”, “class clown”, “expert nap taker”, etc... Now he’s got to survive an apocalypse that didn’t even give him a heads-up. How rude. The Regressor: A guy who’s lived through the end of the world more times than he can count. Literally. Because he forgot. Now he’s just a brooding mess with a leather jacket and zero useful advice. When the fool realizes his classmate is a regressor, he’s like, “Great. I’m stuck with the guy who’s seen it all but remembers none of it. This’ll go well.” Yet, they will still group up and face trials that test their sanity more than their skills. But as the so-called End demands more blood and the regressor’s memories start to resurface, they realize the real apocalypse might be their inability to agree on where to hide. Fool: "Let’s hide in the basement!" Regressor: "Basements are death traps. We should go to the roof." Fool: "Roofs are for dramatic exits. I’m not dying for aesthetics!" Anyway, can a lazy dreamer and an amnesiac hero save the world? Probably not. But hey, at least they’ll have a good story to tell—if they survive. ________ __ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination.

"Give me a moment," Dragos said softly, then turned and walked toward where our traveling boxes were stacked. I watched him rummage through one, unzipping it. When he pulled out his sword, I couldn't help but let out a half-laugh. "You brought Blitzkrieg?" I asked, raising a brow in disbelief. "On our vacation?" "Of course," he replied casually as if we were discussing the weather. "Security reasons." Before I could respond, he filled the distance between us and pressed a brief kiss to my lips. When he pulled back, his expression softened. "My little inferno," he whispered, lowering himself onto one knee. For a moment, he stayed there, as if gathering his thoughts. Then, slowly, he looked up. After unsheathing Blitzkrieg, his other hand reached for mine and he continued, "By my sword, by my blood, by everything I am...I swear to you, no one will ever take you from me again. By my life, by my soul, and all that I have left to give." A frown appeared on his brow. "Nothing will take you from me. Nothing. And no one will stand in my way" ********** Centuries after his brother’s betrayal, Dragos Nicolae Vlad III has chosen solitude over his destined role as the leader of vampires. But when Dawn Carter, a young woman with financial struggles, lands a job at the Vlad mansion, her immunity to Dragos’ compulsion stirs something long dead within him—worry. He needs to find out why. Dawn has no idea vampires exist, let alone that she’s living among them—or that the dangerously gorgeous Dragos is their chosen one. As feelings start to grow between them, old wounds and new desires surface, but their love isn’t meant to be. She is something else—something pure. And he? A being forged from dark magic, forever damned. A vampire, and not just any kind. Will Dragos give up the first woman to touch his heart in over four hundred years? Or can their forbidden love create a path to peace for both human and vampire species?

Augustus Theodosius Maximus will face great enemies such as the frenchs, english, spanish and even the prussians.This alternative history takes place in the 18th century and 19th century , in which what would be the current United States, Mexico, Canada and Cuba, would be the Caesarian Empire that lasted from 486 to 1648, when the province of New Rome was taken by the Dutch and a few years later sold to the English and establishing territories in the former Caesarian provinces, leaving only a few Caesarian states made of buffer states such as the Grand Duchy of New Ravenna (state of Florida in real life), the Serene Republic of Londinium (state of Alabama in real life) and the Praetorian Confederacy (state of Tennessee in real life).So expect a series of upheavals, coups d'état and revolutions in the Caesarean provinces lost to the Europeans, as the period of reunification will last from 1772 until 1815.

*From ancient times, the Devas—beings of divine power—protected humanity. But even gods can fall, and their corruption brought a terrible curse upon their immortality. Now, in a world where humanity has turned against divinity, ancient threats thought to be myths awaken in the shadows. *To combat this darkness, a new generation of divine beings is needed. Enter the Devangsh—fragments of gods living among humans. But are they free from the corrupt desires that doomed their predecessors, or will they fall as well? *Among them are five seemingly ordinary students balancing their lives among friends and loved ones while hiding their true origins. Their fragile peace shatters with the arrival of Akshay, a mysterious transfer student whose presence carries an unsettling aura. Is he a new ally or an ancient enemy? Calamities follow in his wake, shaking the foundations of their lives. *Loyalties will be tested, beliefs will falter, and as enemies rise, the Devangsh must confront their destiny. Will they rise to save the world—or succumb to the darkness within and around them?

A short story somewhat "magical realism" about how superstition, unlucky beliefs and the feeling of loneliness can suffer setbacks that no one can stop... Just live.

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

The fantastical tale of a Survivor, with fantasy mixed in. For those who like light reads, or simple narratives, turn away. Your heart will water, your eyes will break and vice versa. But if you like it hot and heavy, with plenty of drama and 'all-too-realism', we've got you! please note that this is a tale of someone real, with things changed, for privacy reasons, but with fantasy mixed in, because, come on, noone wants a straight sob story. so the story will suddenly, sharply diverge from reality, as it simply is what was felt at the time. but if you can handle that, and haven't been turned off yet, then I personally invite you to get a drink, grab a blanket, cuddle up to the fire, and listen carefully. For I am the Teller of Tales, and the Weaver of Dreams.

Não teve chances. – O senhor está sendo inconveniente. – Luna apertou os lábios. Não sabia como reagir àquela situação. Mais um pouco e estaria perdida, precisava sair logo daquele jogo de palavras o qual ela não sabia jogar. – Talvez devêssemos voltar para o baile, vossa graça – continuou, então ofereceu a mão a ele para que voltassem, mas sua fuga foi totalmente frustrada quando, ao aceitar sua mão, Michael acabara trazendo-a bruscamente para ele. – Sinto muito – ele respondeu. – Mas eu odeio bailes. – E, dizendo isso, Michael levou a mão à nuca dela, selando seus lábios com um beijo inesperado.
